Joanne Froggatt’s rape drama Liar will return for a new series, ITV has announced.

The tense drama about a teacher (Froggatt) who claimed to have been raped during a date with a surgeon (Ioan Gruffudd) reached its nail-biting climax on Monday, with viewers left reeling at the discovery of Andrew’s dead body.

The new run of the hit show, which will start filming in January 2019, will focus on who killed him.
